hello, is there any way how to create static library (.a) on linux?
i tried 'ar -pca mylib.a file1.o file2.o ...', but it broke on 'unknown file format (file1.o)' :(

I use this quite often on linux: "ar -r -s -v lib.a a.o b.o ...."

I used:

ar -q mylib.a file1.o ...

a few days ago (Redhat Linux). This assumes that mylib.a doesn't yet exist.
